So I was thinking about e-readers in the Book Thread and I got this recommendation from Steve:

Here's the deal.
Nook Tablet HD gives you the ability to expand storage, Kindle Fire HD is out of the box easier to install any app. I've had my original Nook Tablet for 11 months now, and still use it every day. It's great.
That being said, the competition in the "smaller tablet" has exploded. If I were shopping today, I'd be looking at the Nexus 7 or 10 (probably 10, I love to use my Nook at the gym and stream HBO Go, Amazon Prime Instant Video, or Netflix and just watch shows. Makes burning the calories no big deal.
Then just download the kindle app or the nook app and read your books as if it were a Fire or Nook. No real reason to not get something that out of the box opens you up to the Google Play Market.
I like the price of Nexus 7....but of course I love the look and feel of the 10. I can't tell if it's a waste to get something the size of the 7 when I already have an iPhone. Meh. Any suggestions? Are there other products I should consider?
